Long Synopsis
The party attempts to find Grazz’t or his granddaughter in the dark tower. They travel up to the place they had encountered the cambion and find a group of derro and myconid. Warlan and Khazad turn themselves invisible, and together with Jax, sneak into the room. Baroj and Iluna follow. The pair attempt to persuade the derro to let them pass, but the derro attack. A quick, dirty fight ensues and the adventurers dispatch their enemies.
There are two different doors available to the group. Khazad tries the door on the right. The dwarf bard quickly returns in a frantic state. He gibbers about a giant demoness swallowing sacrificial derro to give birth to monstrous demons. Khazad also draws his sword to fight unseen, and most likely imaginary tentacles.
The party then tries to explore the room on the left. Khazad walks into the room to find Grazz’t standing in a room filled with infernal energy. The other demon lords, in blurred dimensional states, are magically chained to pillars. Warlan recognizes that the symbols and magic used are from Vizerin’s book and that Grazz’t may be drawing power from the enchained demons.
Iluna walks into the room to confront Grazz’t. The demon lord offers to free Iluna’s lord and lady in exchange for the service of the party. Meanwhile, Warlan and Jax confer and realize that there is a way to sabotage the magical pillars, and thereby severing Grazz’t from his powers.
When Iluna rejects Grazz’t, a battle erupts. Jax and Warlan move out to begin dismantling the arcane mechanisms in the pillars while under attack from a corrupted fire giantess. Khazad summons a draconic spirit. Baroj engages in hit and run tactics from shadows in the back of the room. Iluna casts blistering spells at Grazz’t. In return, Grazz’t chases down Iluna and strikes her down. Baroj tries to assassinate the demon lord, but is knocked unconscious. While Khazad stands against their enemies, Jax works furiously to destroy the pillars. Warlan nearly gets knocked out and turns invisible. Once the last pillar is destroyed, Grazz’t dissipates. The party slays the fire giantess and restores Baroj and Jax to health. In the aftermath of the battle, the party realizes to their horror that Iluna lays unmoving at their feet.
